CNN Execs like the Mafia, asked Doctor to retract statements on Hillary's health

Sunday, 04 September 2016

Dr. Drew Pinsky is so afraid of Hillary Clinton and her supporters, he wonât blame them for the cancellation of his show on HLN, the sister channel of CNN.

âNo, no, no. I just want them to go away!â he told one friend.

âDr. Drewâ was canceled eight days after Pinsky discussed Clintonâs health on a radio show, saying he was âgravely concerned not just about her health, but her health care.â

âCNN is so supportive of Clinton, network honchos acted like the Mafia when confronting Drew,â a source told me. âFirst, they demanded he retract his comments, but he wouldnât.â

What followed was a series of nasty phone calls and e-mails. âIt was downright scary and creepy,â a source close to Pinsky said.

But a spokeswoman for Pinsky said the showâs cancellation had been decided weeks before Pinskyâs comments, as part of a HLN revamp that includes the end of Nancy Graceâs show.

âI know the timing is suspicious, and I know itâs hard to believe, but the two things had nothing to do with each other,â Pinskyâs rep Valerie Allen told me.

The timing appeared pretty bad for DNC staffer Seth Rich who was gunned down in Washington DC (after apparently leaking emails to WikiLeaks), and the UN official who apparently tartgeted his throat with a dumbbell and was scheduled to testify against Clinton. None of it is related... move along. //Tyler Feinstein
